i think especially for joe biden being 74. it's one of the reasons why i don't think he would run in four years unless he was the heir apparent and it was sort of a done deal and the party had decided it. we remember all the press surrounding john mccain four years ago when he would have been the oldest president ele elected had he won and age would be a huge issue. joe biden's record on his own is not always that great. david gregory gave the vice president a real tough time, i believe in that interview yesterday in saying, look. you said you were against the raid that got bin laden. so what about that? and i think joe biden would have a lot to answer for if he was speaking for himself and not the president. >> when he comes out on this marriage equality issue, when you look at the fact that biden yesterday took this position, absolutely comfortable with the fact that men marrying men, women marrying women and heterosexual men and women marrying another are entitled to the same exact rights. contrast that with mrs. clinton's
